Pros

Brand Name / Opportunity to work with modern technology/ Great feeling of putting a smile on a customer's face when helping.

Cons

Branches (Worst place to work ) where usually have the lowest level of management ( manager and district managers) which will drive your career to an end. HR - very superficial with a career mobility process totally full of gaps not functional, most of the internal opportunities online applications are never answered, in case you receive a call you got to have experience anyway since they don't have a training program to help to develop your skills, there is no exceptions for existing employees. The high executive level keep trying to keep people motivated with career mobility messages but it doesn't works equally, worst if you are a diversity employee most likely doors will be closed for you in terms of internal opportunities for advancement. The incentive annual pay out plan is always changing to a lower and lower pay out commission. Sales is and will be always on first place, your annual review is based on your numbers (PVCs) then quality of service and dedication. Worst district managers ( with no human sense and professional ethics are promoted to Wealth Management as Managers).

Pros

-location & team are important. I had an amazing team and location. Rare, but amazing for making money when aligned. -you can learn the financial industry -reputable company, great CEO -you are highly compensated to win over affluent families banking/wealth/lending relationships.

Cons

-we have 5 managers and each of them get replaced bi-annually. -The management hired does not know anything about finance, yet tasked to manage financial professionals. Zero standards for recruitment. Imagine this: An accounting firm is looking for a new accountant. The manager goes out and hires 5 "accountants" but not a single one of them is a CPA. You think, "how could this happen?" That's JPMC for you. -HIGH PRESSURE SALES TACTICS.***
